The bicycle snake

Copenhagen's new cycle bridge The Bicycle Snake is completing the journey over the Bryggebro Bridge, offering Copenhagen's cyclists a fun ride along the harbour and past its tower blocks at first-floor level. As part of Copenhagen's strategy to be one of the best cycling cities in the world, the new cycle bridge will guarantee cyclists improved accessibility and connection to the city.

This slender bridge will wind its elegant way from the Fisketorvet Shopping Centre, out over the harbour basin, and in between the blocks at Kalvebod Brygge, thus creating an elegant contrast to the rest of the area's massive concrete residential buildings. In order to give the cyclist both an aesthetic and a dynamic experience, The Bicycle Snake has been designed so that parts of it will extend out on to the water. The new cycle bridge will meander six-seven meters above the surface of the water and in between Hotel Copenhagen Island, Aller Huset and Atrium above the pedestrian traffic on Vesterbrogade, all at first-floor level.
